Quite a little catch 22 media business you have going there Gerry. Yesterday - trash the Conservatives and PM Harper
Today - get invited on a media talk show about "political policy" pretending to be the "conservative " voice when you have never been a Harper conservative. But, of course, the media would not invite a real conservative who , gasp, supported Harper. You are the wolf in sheep's clothing for them
Gee - let's see - how many nicely paid high profile media interviews would you ever get if you were supportive of Harper?
You do slam Jean Chretien? And, let me ask, what credentials do you have to "slam" any elected offical?
No more than any one of us 33 million Canadians. What's YOUR ticket to having your slamming of our national leader's of any stripes being at all credible and why should anyone care what you think?
You are not in a decision making position and never have been.
Until you have walked a few miles in an elected offical's shoes you are just another media hound trying to make a name for yourself to sell books IMHO.
Gerry Nicholls is a communications consultant and writer who has been called a “political warrior” a “brilliant strategist” and one of the “canniest political observers in Canada.”
He has worked as a consultant in both the United States and Canada and was formerly a senior officer in the National Citizens Coalition.
A regular columnist with the Ottawa Hill Times, his work has also appeared in the Globe and Mail, the National Post and in the Sun Media chain; and he has appeared on countless TV and radio public affairs programs. He is the author of the book, Loyal to the Core, Harper, Me and the NCC.
“Loyal to the Core is a daring and provocative work. It deserves to be read by conservative activists and politicos.” – Western Standard
“This is a very important book.” -- Michael Coren, TV host
“A fascinating read” --- Seamus O'Regan, Canada AM
“I really enjoyed Loyal to the Core. It’s a great book”, - Charles Adler, radio host.
"Loyal to the Core should be required reading for anyone considering or starting a career at a conservative think tank or in electoral politics in general …Consider Loyal to the Core a cautionary tale that’s also a funny, easy read – with a few highly “stealable” ideas for media campaigns thrown in for good measure.”- Kathy Shaidle, author Tyranny of Nice
“Every Canadian remotely interested in politics and the state of the country should have a read of Loyal to the Core. – blogger Wendy Sullivan
"It’s rare to find a politico, however, who is equally passionate about policy and strategy, but columnist, pundit, author and Western Standard blogger Gerry Nicholls is such a person." Matthew Johnson, owner Western Standard
"If you are a conservative who wonders how conservatives can communicate their message in a hostile media climate, Loyal to the Core is a must read." -- At Home in Hespeler
"You HAVE TO read this book!" -- Connie Fournier Free Dominion

Cue LibLogs - Gerry speaks again.
Actually we don't talk about Conservative policy, but we do talk about some of the dopey mistakes the Tories made last week.
And it's any consolation I do slam Jean Chretien.
I am an equal opportunity basher.
